Lansing Unlock Michigan, the group looking to repeal a state law that enabled Gov. Gretchen Whitmer s initial response to the COVID-19 pandemic, is asking the state s Supreme Court to intervene and send its proposal to the Legislature.
On Friday, Unlock Michigan s attorneys filed a complaint arguing that the Board of State Canvassers wrongfully blocked the certification of more than 500,000 petition signatures. The lawsuit was filed by the ballot committee and two of the individuals who helped gather signatures, Nancy Hyde-Davis and George Fisher. The court must protect the initiative process, Unlock Michigan s filing with the state Supreme Court said. More than 500,000 Michiganders deserve to have their voices heard.
